This is Harley. He's looking for his forever home. Harley is an 8 year old male lab mix. He weighs 80 pounds.

To give a dog a forever home, contact the Hardin County dog shelter. It is located at 49 Jones Road on the west side of Kenton.

Hours: 9 am to 4 pm on Monday, Thursday, and Friday. Phone: 419-674-2209.
Generally, about 20 to 25 dogs are available for viewing.

The shelter is also the place to contact for giving up a dog, if you find a lost or stray dog, or if you come in contact with a vicious dog. It costs $20 to surrender a dog, which pays for deworming and immunizations for when it is rescued.

It was a short life for these pies

Eighth graders rise to the Pi Day Challenge
Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, March 24, 2017

Several Ada eighth graders won the Pi Day Challenge held earlier this month. Those students earned the right to pie a teacher at lunch earlier this week. More photos are at the bottom of this story.

By Monty Siekerman

Pi Day is an annual celebration of the mathematical constant constant π (pi) with the first three digits 3, 1, and 4 thus celebrated March 14.

Even the U.S. House of Representatives got into the act by supporting the designation of Pi Day. (And, of course, pies are involved, which is great for folks with a sweet tooth).
